A FAT BABY
Usual! Brldaac of Proper reading.
Babies giow Very rapidly and if they do
not get ll.'i right kind of food they grow
backward instead of forwards; that ia.
when their food Is not nourishing they grow
thin and cross and some of them die from
the lack of the light kind of food. A girl
writes:
"My a nt a baby was very delicate and
waa alway.t 111. She was not able to nurse
II and t iok ! to one doctor after another,
but none of them did the child any good.
"One day mother told my aunt to try
Grape-N':ttt for the baby, but she laughed
and said If the doctors couldn't do the
baby any good, how could (liupe-NutaT
But mother said 'try It anyway.'
"Su my aunt put one tahlespiMinful of
liiapc-Nuta hi a iiarter cup nf hot water
and when the food was soft she added as
much milk as water and gave that to the
baby.
"In a ir.onth and a half you would bald
ly have known that baby, it waa so fat
and thrived so fast. A neighbor asked my
aunt what made the baby so healthy and
fat when nnlv six weeke before It was so
thin. She said 'Grape-Nute.' The neighbor
got Grape-Nuts for her baby and it was
soon aa fa( aa my aunt's child."

CAR TRACKS DOWN TO GRADE
Council Order! Company to Lower
Those on Avenue A.
WATER MAIN ORDERED MOVED '
City Attorney Adrlses Council ta Be
Careful and Not Heeogolse Right
of the Company to Occapy
Streets of the City.
The city council last night directed City
Solicitor Kimball Hnd City Engineer Etnyre
to take such action aa necessary to com
pel tho street railway company to lower
its tracks on Avenue A between Twentieth
and Twenty-alxth atreeta to confirm to the
eatabllahed grade. Thla action was taken
at the request of the Weat End Improve
ment club which was represented befora the
council by former Councilman W. C. Boyer.
Mr. Boyer In presenting the matter to the
councllmen said that under existing condi
tions property owners on tha avenue between
the points named were unable to have
sidewalks In front of their residences,
neither was It possible for a delivery wagon
to drive up In front of their houses. The
residents and property owners along the
avenue were not alone Interested In having
the tracks brought to grade, declared
Mr. Boyer, but the merchants doing busi
ness with the people living there were also
Interested. Mr. Boyer said he understood
that the company had promised to lower Its
tracka aa soon as the grade would be es
tablished, but It had so fair failed to make
any move In this direction. ,
Councilman Jensen in making the motion
that the city solicitor and city engineer be
directed to attend to the matter said the
conditions were so well known to the coun.
ell that It would only be a waste of time
for the members to go over the ground a?
had been suggested by Mr. Boyer.
Movlsg of Water Main.
The matter of changing the location of
the water main across Indian creek at
Bryant street, which was said to be In the
way of the concrete foundation for the
new bridge, was brought up by Councilman
Jensen, chairman of tho committee on
water works and other public utilities. Mr.
Jensen told of having requested the com
pany to move the main and that Manager
Hart had declined to do so until the mat
ter had been acted upon by the councll-at-large.
The letter from Mr. Hart to
Councilman Jensen, which has been pub
lished, wus read by the clerk at the re
quest of Mr. Jensen.
Councilman Jensen stated that the city
attorney had advised him that the city
could move the pipe and charge up the
expense to the water company. Mr. Kim
ball on being appealed Jo, said this was
correct, but advised the council to move
carefully In the matter. "The city can
order the company to move the main, but
It would not be wise for the city to desig
nate where the pipe should be rehvid, as
such action might give the company au
thority to leave the pipe In the street,"
Mr. Kimball said.
Councilman Morgan suggested that In
order to prevent any delay In the , con
struction of the bridge that the city movo
the pipe -and that the question of whether
the city or the water company should foot '
the bill be determined later and by tho
courts It necessary. This suggestion did
not appear to meet with much favor and
Councilman Morgan made another. He
moved "that the city attorney and the city
solicitor bo given authority to give the
water company their proper Instructions."
Councilman Jensen amended the motion by
adding "at once," and tho motion waa car
ried without a dissenting vote.
"All I can do Is serve a written notice
on the company," declared tne city solicitor
when the clerk announced that the motion
had carried. The matter was then allowed
to drop.
Fire Iloase Contract Approved.
The contract for tho construction of tho
new central fire station, made with George
P. Hughes, payment to be made by the
city Ju monthly Installments extending
over a period of twenty years, was ap
proved and the mayor authorized to sign It.
A delegation of union carpenters waa
present and one of their number asked the
council to see to it that tho carpenter
work on the fire station waa aublet to a
"fair man." In explanation of the re
quest the speaker said that there were
some carpenters who were not on the fair
list and If one of these got the contract,
the union men could not work. Mr. Hushes
stated that he would do the best he could,
but that as the contract provided for pay
ment on such peculiar terms he would he
compelled to make the best deal he could
with some carpenter who would be willing
tu receive his pay during the next twenty
years. "Well, you can't sublet your can-
tract without the approval of the city
council," remarked Councilman Jensen,
and this brought tiie discussion to a close.
Councilman Ycunkerman called tho at
tention of tho, council to the numerous
complaints relative to the street railway
company switching its long cars at Broad
way nnd Pe:ui street. The present method,
he said, resulted In great confusion among
the company'a patrons who were con
tinuously boatdlng the wrong cars and
being compelled to get off again. He
moved that the company be notified
through the city clerk to stop this switch
ing. Counellmun Jensen Interposed an ob
jection as he could not see, he said, whst
good serving a notice would do. "We
have served one notice and the company
paid no attention to it The city either has
the right to stop this switching or It has
not," he said.
It was finally decided that If the com
pany Ignored the notice that the city mar-
j shal would be instructed to use tho force
at his command to prevent It.
A bill from H. A. Waddington, former
deputy city clerk, (or special aervlces on
the assessment rolls, amounting to 4S and
one from William Higgeson. the city welgh
master for sundry expenses Incurred by
him In discharge of the duties of his of
fice during tho last four or five years,
amounting to 135, were presented by City
Auditor McAneney, who stated that the
finance committee had been unable to reach
any declskm regarding them. The bill
were referred to the city solicitor and the
Judiciary committee to wrestle with.
The council adjourned to next Monday

the wife of the American minister. M.r
intimacy with the dowager was so muiked
that ut one time there was serious trouble
among the women of thu legations because
the wives of European diplomats of high
rank became Jealous of the American
woman. But the dowager not only showed,
In an offlriiil way. marked preference for
the American minister's wile, but site also
showed her great personal and social
favors, takl.ig iter into the palace and
spending hours In private, conversation
wuh her. In fact It was In this way thut
Tsl An became deeply interested In western
civilization and western religions. Mrs.
Conger was u follower of Christian Sci
ence, a brilliant woman, well fitted for
giving the empress un insight into the
science. That she Included religion among
the topics of conversation cannot be
doubted.
It wus during the boxer rebellion when
Mrs. Conger was shut up with the other
'egatloncrs and manifested the most sub
lime courage In the face of imminent dan
gei, thut the emprcRs became most Im
pressed wilii llic philosophy which the
minister's wile hud brought from America.
After that time thu conversations of Hie
aged empress and tho highly cultured
I Amcrlcun woman became inon; frc'iucnt.
I Their intliiiaey never ceased until Mrs.
J Conge returned home.
Mrs Conger still po:ws splendid dia
monds that were given her by the empress
dowager, t'lie was the recipient of many
valuable gifts, far more than ever received
by any other woman, showing how deeply
attached the empress had beconu; to her.
It .was through the personal intervention
of Mrs. Conger that an Iowa woniun se
cured sittings from the empress for her
portrait and two pictures were pututed.
One of tin so was given to Mrs. Conger by
the empress.
Persons lure familiar with all the facts
do not doubt that while (lie dowager em
press never publkiy accepted the Christian
science creed she was so profoundly Im
pressed with It that llic t losing years of
her life were lived In the light of its com
forting philosophy.
